Choosing domain names

[TCGCorner]

I need suggestions on which domain to choose?
I currently have "tradingcardgamescorner.com" and a shorter version "tcgcorner.com"

Which should I use as my main website name to promote and market? Should I market tradingcardgamescorner.com and have tcgcorner.com pointed to tradingcardgamescorner.com. Would the search engines have issues with tcgcorner.com pointed to tradingcardgamescorner.com??????

go with the long name... will help the seo

[jimbeetle]

Yeah, use the longer one as the main domain name and the shorter one for marketing.

SEO-wise, it'll be better if you'll use the longer domain name coz it directly tells what the site is all about thus, it can attract target visitors

For SEO purposes the longer name would be a good choice. However, you also need to consider what would be easier for branding purposes for your customers. We would take a look at how competitive your market is for the keywords you are trying to SEO.

Then you would have to assess SEO v. branding and see what the difference is between the cost of the two.

Can you knock off the corner? Is there anything available with just the first three words? If so I would do that and get the corner out of there completely. Has no seo value. I know it finishes off the name, but thats just my 2 cents!

tradingcardgames and tradingcardgame are ALL taken. That is why I added the corner at the end of it or else I would of taken both tradingcardgames and tradingcardgame.
